    • Cannot convert archive to .zip, always creates .zipx

      C

      Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.

      Using the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

    • Self-extracting archive creation too messy!

      A

      Good morning,
      I have been using all compression programs for over 20 years, I have always found Winrar very easy to use when I create a self-extracting archive, even 7-zip is simple, “right click” and “create self-extracting archive”, because on powerarchiver it must be like this confused ?
      It doesn’t just create the archive, it opens a page where I have to select the file again, what kind of archive, which folder to create it, etc … you should learn from your competitors how to make life easier!

    • PA archiving issue with large files and shows incorrect original content's size for all types of archives.

      G

      Hi,

      So refer this screenshot:

      image_2020-12-30_115129.png

      The properties panel that you see, is what I tried to compress, using PA, with following settigs:
      Extreme Strong optimize
      https://forums.powerarchiver.com/assets/uploads/files/1609079025475-image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      The process was stuck at 0% with no progress for over 8 Hours:

      PA.png

      Then the usual, clicking will make it go not responding.

      So, I could not get the files compressed using PA.

      I tried 7zip, and it worked, so that’s 1 issue.

      PA shows incorrect original(before compression) size of total contents.

      Refer the first screenshot.
      folder’s size is shown correctly in 7ZIP
      but not in powerarc.

      this happens with every archive, whether they are compressed in PA or not, whether it has only 1 file, or multiple files inside multiple directory.

      Neither does the archive property panel shows original content’s size.

    • PA Not responding issue and Pause issue

      G

      Hi,

      So my rig is as below:
      CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (Turbo 3.7GHz)
      RAM: 16 Gigs DDR3
      Samsung SSD 860 EVO
      Windows 10 pro for workstations x64, freshly installed on 22nd Dec 2020, and updated.
      PA freshly downloaded on same day, so it’s 2021 x.x.62 version

      PA Stuck.png

      Issue and reproduction:
      If you start a compression, and if it’s mid way anywhere or even started, and you try to cancel it, the window will get stuck there, another click or key press will make the window not responding, then, and more will make windows to collect logs for crash, and the process will be terminated by windows

      On the other hand.

      If the process is mid way, and if you try to pause it, the compression, CPU utilization, RAM usage will stay/increase as if the compression if still going on, the whole process will take it’s course, instead of doing what we clicked on.

      So, both pause and cancel buttons are useless.

    • PowerArchiver Queue made worse

      G

      Just installed 2021 v20.00.63

      Now, when I add to queue, with or without using always use queue.

      The powerarc starter opens up in notification bar.

      and that’s it, no matter how many files I add to queue, no compression will start.

      I also cannot double click or right click the icon.

      If i end task for this, and disable queuing, compression works fine, just that I have to manually start individual tasks.

      it’s quite ironic that you guys took whole year to fix one issue, in this versions, which completely broke the queuing feature.

      Did you guys test it before releasing?

      I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
      Extreme, strong optimize.

      This resulted in negative compression.

      However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:

      I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

    • BUG: Dragging and dropping not working, hangs

      AluminumHaste

      Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to track down the cause of a hanging bug in PA.
      I have found a reliable test case (on my computer at least).

      I am trying to extract the folders/files from: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.9.0/windeps.7z

      By selecting both folders, then dragging over to a Windows Explorer window on another HDD.
      I’m not sure what causes this but this just doesn’t do anything, progress bar appears, but nothing happens.
      PA shows about 5% CPU utilization and I’ve left this going all night and it never does anything.
      It doesn’t always happen, but this morning this is reliably failing for me.
      The folder I’m dragging to is under Git source control, but this also happens when dragging into other folders also, but not always, sometimes it works.

      If I do a regular extraction and use the dialog box to select the location to extract to, that always works.

    • UI Issue moving between different monitors

      G

      I have just installed 2021, but seems to have similar issues to 2019. If you move the app between differen monitors (with different resolutions) the app does not automatically adjust accordingly, so on one monitor I have the app is too big for the screen, whereas on another monitor it only takes up a small fraction of the screen.
      This was worse with 2019, where the fonts were totally screwed up, making the app unusable. This seems better in 2021, but still not working properly.

    • PA 20.00.63 update still install 20.00.62

      2

      Hi.

      I have noticed after updating PowerArchiver through PatchBeam to 20.00.63, after the installer finished and I recheck for updates, it still tells me that I have version 20.00.62 installed and prompts to download 20.00.63 again.

      This also happens when I install from the offline setup file powarc200063.exe ( https://powerarchiverdl.cachefly.net/2021/powarc200063.exe ). It still installs version 20.00.62 and the process goes over and over again.

      Also, in PowerArchiver About screen I see version 20.00.62 but in Programs and Features in Windows 10, version 20.00.63 is displayed as being installed.

      Can someone check and see if they experience similar behavior?

    • Bug with opening an archive while a file is being extracted from an already opened archive

      A

      When I double click on a file within an archive the file gets temporarily extracted to being opened with the external program. When I now go back to the windows explorer and want to open another archive while the file from the first archive is still being extraceted, a new window of power archiver opens and immediatly closes. It opens and closes the new window repeatedly until the extraction of the file from the first archive is completed.

      I use the option that power archiver opens a new tab when another archive is opened.

      This happend with version 20.00.60. I wanted to update it to 20.00.63 as shown in the update window but it just updates to 20.00.62. It still shows that 20.00.63 is available but never seem to update to that version. The bug still exists though.

    • PA very slow to launch (double click) html file from archive

      S

      I have some large zip files (~ 40 MB) with a lot of html files. When I double click on one of them in the archive, it takes a long time (eg 20 sec) for the file to be extracted and opened in the browser.

      I am using version 19.00.59.

      I discovered that the root cause of the problem is that all the files in the archive are extracted to the temporary dir before the selected file is launched.

      It does not appear to happen with other file types (such as pdf) nor when dragging a html file into the browser.

      I think I recall this issue being raised by someone else, but could not find it.

    • PA 2021 associate formats popup Minor bug

      F

      Hello there,

      I was installing-uninstalling and reinstalling PA 2021 due to another bug when I noticed a minor popup “bug” if it is considered a bug, regarding application association with recommended formats.

      During PA installation you get to choose those options
      Installation 1.png

      I have ticked Associate PA with recommended formats

      Installation completes and when you open PA the defult theme is Windows Ribbon.
      When I changed it to Classic Theme, PA restarts for changes to take effect and then I get the below popup (Sorry I have a greek system)
      It asks: Do you want PA to associate with recommended formats now?
      Options: Associate for all users and Never show again.
      Popup 2.png

      I could swear that once I was changing themes and icons all the time to see which one I prefered and also toggling PA.exe to run as admin and windows compatibility mode and got this popup twice or tripple times.
      Well this one does not bother me at all, I just posted it for the records if needed!

    • Inconsistency with disabled tabs and multiple instances of PA allowed

      A

      If I the Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked, when double clicking inside archives on files supported by the internal viewer (PDF, JPEG etc.) they are opened in associated application rather than on a new tab in PA internal viewer, which is expected behavior.
      Next, if the Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking on archives associated with PA in Explorer they are opened in new PA instance when there is another one already running, which is expected behavior.
      But when Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked AND Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking inside archives on archive files they are opened in the same instance of PA with no way to get back to the parent archive. I would expect, that when the user doesn’t want to use tabs AND want to use multiple PA instances, that in such case double clicking on archive located inside another archive, the second one would open in a new PA window.

      Task is quite simple.

      Compress folder and copy to ftp.

      I can make a profile but I can’t test my settings. Would be nice if there would be a test button.

      Ftp is accessible from commandline and works as expected.

      PA2009 runs say that backup was successfully. No file in ftp folder.

      Any ideas?

          Already checked several times.

          Did some testing with the backup feature… A COMPLETE DESASTER…!!!

          No scheduled backup was run. So no backups at all.

          But a small light at the end of the tunnel. When I run a backup of a dir like about 200MB it seems to work. Even the ftp does work then. But when I try to make a backup of dirs having GBs it doesn’t even start.

          Hope this is a RC issue… This was the reason I bought it for. Doing backups from my servers and copy away via ftp.

                as I said before, check destination folder in ftp settings… it is ~, remove that completly and try again.

                There is no file limit in Zip/7zip, but backing up 37 GB of files will take huge amount of time, both first to the disk and then to the ftp.

                I dont think PA hangs, it it building file list for 106000 files… Just leave it on.

                    Backups didn’t even start. How can I check if the scheduler is working? Is the scheduler just working if I am logged in? As soon as I logged in PA started.

                    I also have another problem. PA stops with an error message of no space left or file access forbidden. There is more than enough space left on the device. I also tried to use another disk. Same issue here.

                          as to the task scheduler - edit the task, and make sure your username and password is entered in the task scheduler properly - that is the only way task will start without you logged in (i assume that is the issue)…

                            (or uncheck optimized from 7z settings).

                              is this one of the time backup and later you will be using incremental backups for only changed files?

                                I always want to use full backups. Have bad experiances with incremental backups.
                                In a first step I used zip as suggested… I will see tomorrow.

                                I also set the password as you mentioned.

                                Thank you!

                                  Backups did partly work… I will do some further testing…

                                          you are still trying with 7z :).

                                          Download final release from download page or via Web Update.

                                          If you want to use 7zip, try using Normal setting which takes up a lot less memory. Try with Zip as well.

                                          How many files/folders are you compressing in total?

                                            This was what I was trying to say. i used zip and it still didn’t work. Even with final version…

                                            Not so much… Something like 7GB, 8 Folders… I always use the normal setting… Never tried full or incremental.

                                              above error is 7zip error not zip.

                                              Check compression - make sure it is Normal, not Ultra/Max (not backup type, compression strenght).

                                                  Like I said… It is the final version…

                                                  ok… but I will do some final test. I just right clicked and said create 7zip. At the same time I do right click an create zip.

                                                  We’ll see how far I come…

                                                  If this doesnt work I will send you the pbs file.

                                                    ok, what compression are you using with right click 7z? Try using Normal instead of Ultra…

                                                      ok… Here we go…

                                                      The 7zip and zip with right click worked. So I checked which settings the right click options have. Changed the pbs file to these settings and starting the pbs worked finally…!!

                                                      The only thing I changed was putting the 7zip compression level fom utra to maximum. Then it worked and uploaded the file to the ftp server.

                                                      Now the scheduler has to work and I am happy…

                                                        Here we go again… :-)

                                                        After the scheduled backups finish I see in the processes list that the PA.exes are still open. So I guess that after successful backup they won’t be closed…

                                                        And I still have on a Windows 2003 Server the problem that the task is not running. Only when I log in. But I gave the scheduled task a user and password. Any ideas?

                                                          if task is nor running unless you login, you need to check in windows scheduler what the problem is - you can check directly in scheduler. Common problem there is that correct login/pass was not provided so schedule cant login.

                                                          as to the pa.exe staying in the background - send us your pbs and we will try it out.

                                                          thanks,

                                                            I checked several times the scheduler… Still not knowing where the problem is… I will keep on searching.

                                                              did you check in Computer Managment> Task Scheduler? (or whatever it is called in Win2003)

                                                                      1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                        One problem is that the task is not running in scheduler which is for sure a scheduler thing. Other tasks in scheduler do run perfectly on the same machine, so I thought it is maybe a small bug in writing fom PA to the scheduler in Win 2003.
                                                                        Now behaviour is even stranger. The scheduled backup is stated running in the scheduler but no PA is started… This makes me going mad… :-)

                                                                        The other problem was that PA is not closing after scheduled jobs. I found the error as I wrote above. You have to uncheck the alert. Maybe you should da this by default when having schedules tasks. If alert “backup done” is enabled then PA doen’t close after backup and stays open and in memory of course then.

                                                                        Regards, Alex

                                                                          aha, i understand better now - problem is that we dont know if schedule is done when user is not logged in or when they are logged in - meaning, if we disabled it, many people will complain for not getting the done msg (it happened before).

                                                                          However we can leave an timer - that will work? Auto disable/ok after 10 minutes for example?

                                                                              ok… everything seems to work now. I made a complete new pbs and scheduler job. This one runs now… No Idea why because it is exactly the same as the one one that didn’t run.

                                                                              Thanks for the great support!!
